Well the clkctrl instances are separate independent devices under each
clockdomain, so having a proper DT node for them makes sense to me.
It's not like the clkctrl registers are just outputs of a single clock.
A clockdomain typically has multiple inputs that are then routed in
some combination to the clkctrl modules.
I think we can group them though, here's how I'd like to set these up.
This from dts point of view modelling omap4 TRM "3.11.16.1 WKUP_CM
Register Summary":
cm_wkup: clock@1800 { /* offset from prm_clocks at 0x4a306000 */
...
reg = <0x1800 0x100>;
ranges = <...>;
...
gpio1_mod_ck: clock@38 {
compatible = "ti,clock-abc";
reg = <0x38 0x10>;
clocks = <...>;
ranges = <...>;
...
gpio1_dbclk: clock@8 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
ranges = <...>;
compatible = "ti,clock-db";
reg = <8>; /* bit offset */
...
};
};
counter_32k_mod_ck: clock@50 {
compatible = "ti,clock-xyz";
reg = <0x50 0x10>;
clocks = <...>;
...
};
...
};
This then allows adding support for the clockdomain CLKSTCTRL and
DYNAMICKDEP registers later on.
Then I'd like to also have consumers be able to reference these using
one of the two methods:
1. clocks = <&counter_32k_mod_ck>;
2. clocks = <&cm_wkup 0x50>;
And the gpio1 debounce clock could be addressed with one of:
1. clocks = <&gpio1_dbclk>;
2. clocks = <&gpio1_mod_ck 8>;

Yes Tero please check those, we need to support the old behavior too.
Sounds like you figured that out how to do that alreadey by generating
the clock name for the built-in data.

Tony
